Peel the potatoes, cut them into large chunks, and boil in salted water until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and let them cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the potatoes until smooth.
Add 0.5 teaspoon salt, turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin seeds, chopped cilantro, lemon juice, ginger paste, garlic paste, and chopped green chili to the mashed potatoes. Mix well until all the spices and ingredients are evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, combine coconut flour and arrowroot starch with 0.5 teaspoon salt. Slowly add water, whisking continuously until you have a smooth batter.
Shape the spiced mashed potatoes into small balls or patties, about 1.5 inches in diameter.
Dip each potato ball into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
Heat avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the coated potato balls into the oil.
Fry the Bateta Wara in batches for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve hot, garnished with additional chopped cilantro if desired.
